Animals Reviewed

An idea conjured by Shervin Hess of Oregon Zoo, and with the talents of others in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, this super cute book, full of bright and striking photos and punny tags for each #rateaspecies animal, is an excellent addition to any library.

I really enjoyed sharing it with my kids who are 9 and 11. It is hard to pick a favorite but if I had to.... it would be the Giant Pacific Octopus on pg 11 - it's rating reads: “OCTOMAZING - This waterproof model expands to cover large spaces; customizable coloring blends easily with any decor. Eight arms equipped with suction cups secure to any surface. Bonus: super-collapsible for easy storage.” Just picture it. I laughed until I snorted!

I went into this read, expecting repetitive ratings, honestly who could rate these super cute animals less than 5 stars? I was pleasantly surprised by the range in ratings but was in that same note frustrated by the repetitive nature of it. This isn't the kind of book I would recommend to sit straight through and read, it's one to be enjoyed over time, something to pick up for a chuckle, and return to over and over again.

E-copy received for an honest review from @NetGalley.
